Robyn? I know the Padstow Henwood family very well. What a small world we live in! Barry Kinsmen was almost our school mascot. Somebody very small, gentle, mild and precious to us all. We were all very protective to him and anybody who threatened Barry (even verbally) was put in his place severely. I love his book because he recalls all of my own early experiences so clearly. For example, putting up our hands and asking, "Please Sir...Might I go to the office?" meaning the outdoor freezing cold unheated toilet. Precious memories....
